HTC has announced two new phones - the ChaCha and Salsa - which target the social network segment with a dedicated Facebook button for one-touch access.

The Facebook button on the HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa is context-aware, gently pulsing with light whenever there is an opportunity to share content or updates through Facebook, the vendor said.

The HTC ChaCha features a QWERTY keyboard and a 2.6-inch, 480x320 resolution landscape touch screen. The device has dual cameras - a 5-megapixel color camera with auto focus and LED flash, and a VGA front-facing camera.

The HTC Salsa has a 5-megapixel camera and a 3.4-inch, 480x320 resolution touch display. For face-to-face conversations on the move, the VGA forward-facing camera enables high-quality video calling.

The HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa smartphones will be available to customers across major European and Asian markets during the second quarter of 2011. In the US, HTC said it plans to bring them to market later in 2011 exclusively with AT&T.

In 2018, global server shipments will grow 8.5% to reach 13.73 million units. Digitimes Research estimates server shipments worldwide will grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the period 2017-2022, with growth mainly driven by large-scale data centers and the China market.

Digitimes Research expects global AP shipments to surpass the 1.9 billion mark in 2017, with smartphones remaining the main application. Qualcomm will be leading the market in 2017, as other players continue playing catch up and scramble for funds to invest in more diverse applications.
